Too arbitrary I think. Especially so on non-biology pages. Perhaps a biology specific version could be kept, something like 'levels of complexity in biology', starting with [[biomolecule]] and going up to [[biosphere]] or something like that?

:Yes, it is a bit arbitrary (I added it because I learnt it that way), and if we expand it it would get even more arbitrary. Considering you're proposal, what would go in between biomolecule and biosphere? <font color="purple">♠</font>[[User:TomasBat|<font face="Old English Text MT"><font color="green">TomasBat</font></font>]] 22:48, 27 September 2007 (UTC) |

Instead of using an arrow, indicating "to", couldn't one use a ">" indicating that the preceeding particle is greater than the following? <em>— [[User:Lasse_Havelund|Lasse Havelund]] ([[User:Lasse_Havelund|p]] · [[Special:Contributions/Lasse_Havelund|t]] · [[Special:Contributions/Lasse_Havelund|c]])</em> 18:28, 1 June 2008 (UTC) |

What is this?
This doesn't appear useful, and is certainly a transition I've never encountered before. Could you explain the purpose of this? |→ Spaully₪† 19:06, 24 May 2007 (GMT)
- Yes, let me explain... The template is about the "scale" or the "composition" of each type of matter... It means: Organisms are made up of systems, systems are made up of organs, organs are made up of tissues, tissues are made up of cells, cells are made up of organelles, organelles are made up of molecules, molecules are made up of atoms, atoms are made up of particles, and particles are made up of quarks. We can divide matter, starting with an organism, until we reach quarks: The smallest division possible, the bit of matter that cannot be split... With the template, viewers can travel through the different divisions of matter easilly... ♠Tom@sBat 21:47, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
This template is biased towards biology. While it may be useful when placed in an article about organisms, cells, or organelles, it seems arbitrary when you put it on an article about molecules and smaller entities. For example, one can wonder why the scale is not something like universe -> galaxy -> solar system -> planet -> ... -> quark. ;-) --Itub 10:23, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
- Hmmmmm... We could broaden it... Maybe... Universe→Galaxy→Solar system→Planet→Continent→Country→State or Province→City, Village, or Town→Neighborhood→Residence→Familly→Organism→System→Organ→Tissue→Cell→Organelle→Molecule→Atom→Particle→Quark
- Or something of the sort...
- I included what I included in the template because thats how I recently learned it at school... ♠Tom@sBat 22:25, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

How about s/→/> ?
